National Noodle Day – Tomato Basil Angel Hair Spaghetti

I celebrate noodles, always, but since today is actually National Noodle Day, it’s fitting that I introduce to you my favorite weeknight angel hair spaghetti dish. A super affordable recipe I created for my family for just under $2 per serving.

A secret ingredient I like to include in my spaghetti is Knorr® Selects Vegetable Granulated Bouillon! I especially love the freshness that comes with the tomatoes, garlic, and basil. The punch of flavor from the Knorr® bouillon is amazing, and my husband enjoys the protein that comes from the beans.

Best of all, this easy-to-use product can be prepared and ready to eat in 30 minutes or less!

This is a great recipe for back-to-school and busy work weeks when you are strapped for both time and cash. Knorr® turns simple, plant-based ingredients into a proper, flavorful meal that the whole family will love and feel good about!

Cost: $2.00 per serving
